We shall add but a few words i ll t tlr ist th oug h t h e subject admits of ample discussion.

Thiis.from abundance arises satiety, and not even DE CONSTAAFT nor CHATHAUBRIANT will be able to rouse the public from this indifference. In this respect the Oppbsition is treated almost as se verely as the Ministerial Parry—wit and sarcasm the most poignant can scarcely awake attention, or, when awake, excite a smile ; a kind of anti- • pamphlet torpor has seized the public, or, in the language of a medical friend, the readers and writers of Pamphlets are affected with Tetanus, but of two different species, the former being af• flieted with Opiahotonot, and the latter with Tris mus, and both are likely to be fatal. Hence it will readily be conceived that the cold, methodi cal reasoning of the Government Writers is in capable of rousing attention. When I look tit this state of things, I ask myself why the Mi nistry and the Ministerialists are so much alarmed as. the Liberty of the Press. In the first moments it was natnral that the Public, anxious for no velty, should read all that was published without distinction ; but, ere long, convinced of the futi• lity of such a plan, and finding that ninety-nine in one hundred Pamphlets were only the crude, undigested larragos of vanity and ignorance, the Public ceased to read ; the Aut hors, however, con tinue to write, their proverbial vanity making them fancy that their's will be the favoured one ; and, besides, having published something, gives them the title to Men of Letters, which in France is justly regarded as an honourable Profession. But as these publications bring no profit, they will finish by giving it up. Indeed, I think the greatest harm done by the Liberty of the Press in France is in - the terror it inspires in the Ministers. Seeing them tremble, they are supposed to be weak, and this public opinion renders them really so, • In England the case - is widely different ; the Press there is not so formidable a weapon, and are calumnies against public men by pamphleteers are treated with proper contempt, like the rant ings of factious, demagogues in society. But this Indifference is the work of time—with a little pa tience the same thing will happen in France. Besides, why be so much alarmed at the ap pearance of a few pamphlets, when, during six months of the year, the Deputies from the Tri bune say with a tone of authority ten times more violent things, which are repeated in the Papers, and thus circulated throughout the Kingdom ; whereas of the pamphlets, upon an average, they have not each 100 readers out of a_population,of 30 millions. To be afraid,of this is, as MACKLIN said, beieg frightened at squibs, when one is sitting on a barrel of gunpowder. The Ministry cannot oppose the circulation of the opinions of the Members of the Chambers— the slightest attack on this right would be very properly regarded as an attack on the Representa tive Government ; yet it wages bellum ad inter neeionent with a horde of needy scribblers, who are raised into importance by the imprudence of Messrs. MARCHANGY and VATEMENIL. Abuses of the Press should not indeed remain unpunish ed : but how should they be punished ? Why by the regular law of the [and—by the decision of a Jury. But ere this is determined on, the Go vernment should weigh the c h anger of the writ- ing and the danger of increasing its publicity, and the scandal attending it, which is almost ways more dangerous. These reflections have struck me, because I see daily Government men panic-struck at the sight of the shoal of pamphlets which teem from the Press ; and these Statesm:::n sigh because the Li berty of the Press exists in France. It, how ever, ap;-tars to me that, so far from restraining the French Legislation, it would secure to it its natural privileges, and that it will obtain front the Government not the concession, but the right, that the abuses of the Press shall be tried by a Jury. If the Ministry be wise, it will declare it-. self in favour of this system, and not wait until it be compelled to yield it by the importunities of the Chambers. In every thing, the Government should never suffer itself to be dragged on by opinion —it should frankly and boldly place itself at its head. The Dean and Chapter of ‘Vorcesier have given 601. in aid of the fund for erecting a new Church in the parish of St. Clement, besides their former liberal donation of 2001. towards the building of nets Churches.

The frogs who free their marshes rove, Loud for a King petition Jove ; A King to rule them in their hog. Jove smiles, and studs them down a log. Scar'd by its splash upon the flood, The timid race plung'd deep in mud. Lung lie; till one pops up his head, Explores the King, and, freed from dread, Calls all, who swimming quick, up hop ; On the scorn'd log their rile filth drop, And.then to ask again they send That Jove their King would change or mend. A snake at his command soon follows, Who quick the frogs by dozens swallows; In vain they strive to fly the death, Fear stops at once their voice and breath. By stealth they Als:ucuitv send on high Begging Jove's aid; this ilove'i reply : " Since you your good have cast away, " Bear now your bad as best you may." " 0! men of Athens," &sue cries, " Leara froth their folly to be wise." And, men of England, 1 repeat, Taught by their fate, be you discreet: Although aware my fabled frogs May lead to jokes on good King Loos; That you may say, with aspect currish, Jost Laws, not Kings, matte Athens flourish; Alay tell me too the tale was told, Nut rule by Monarchs to uphold, But to wake men endure a curse,. From dread lest change iniglit bring them worse; All this allow'd as clear. and plain, Yet still my table I retain; And do it for this simple cause, That we are bless'd with equal laws; • Laws just as we ourselves can make them, And Kings who would not, dare not, break them. Despising then these weak objections, I now go on to make reflections, And point my fable's application , To what took place in neighbour nation. 'Tis done that we may thence take warning, And not in spite, Contempt, or scorning Besides, both plan it suits awl metre, Front frog to turn we to frog cater. The Canis long in France had reign'd; The people of some wrongs complaited, Which had in lapse of aies grown. One of these CAPETS fill d the throne About the time of which I speak; The factious spirits call'd him weak; Truth is, mild, just, averse from blood, And srz•king but his country's good, • Ile would have heard them and redress'd t But they with devils as possess'd, And by some factious monsters led, With guillotine took oft his - bead: Then, once gay Frenchmen, steel'd to pity, Because aband of fierce banditti; Regarding neither sex nor age, They massacred with brutal rage; Accurst by all, to all a curse, Than former worst they were far worse. A thousand snakes, nut one, arose To heighten ten-fold former woes; And when they long around had spread Want, desulal ion, death, and dread, There came, at Despotism's call, A Snake which far outvenom'd all; A hydra vast, which rear'd his crest And quickly swaflow'd all the rest. So - use time at home he tir'd his jaw, Then look'd abroad to fill his maw; Destruction, famine, and dismay, The dread attendants of his way ; ' He dragg'd along his filthy slim e Until he rcach'd a colder clime ; There, numb'd with frost, with blood all stain'd, lie was attack'd, o'erpower'd, and chain'd. Such were the modern Gallic crimes, And such were ours of older times; Thu' nut of quite so black a dye; For Citomweit., when he strove on high To climb, did not such deeds of fear As dark MARAT and RoaESP. LIME, Or BVONAPARTE, his compeer. Yet both times slim to demonstration The horrors of mob-reformatitni; That when the people break their tether, And in mad meetings Nock together, Awhile they rage and piay the savage, Rob, plunder, murder, burn and ravage, Till one 11::ilth, rabble rout, The other halt quite wearied out, . And like a restive ox, once broke, Ceases to gibe and seeks the yoke. Long in sad slavery they, groan; At last their tyrants overthrown, They wisdom by experience learn, And to their former Kings return. Such is the race they always run, — Thus England did, thus France kits done. Yet you who know what ills arise Whene'er the mob rebellion tries, By sophistry and specious reason, Would urge the people on to treason; Yet you who know, from Saxon times Tbro' a long train of wars and crimes, They never were so free as now, No—not when acorns from the bough They eat as food—would still persuade That they are slaves oppress'd, betray'd; You know, althu' a east taxation Now presses hard upon the nation, That commerce, arts, domestic. trade, Have more than counter-progress made, And that the people never were • -Paid, taught, fed, dress'd as now theyare; Yon know, if we old times examine, That each tenth year was one of famine; Yon know the plague, a; often sprvad, !own and country with their dead; Know Barons wag'il with Barons battle; Know Serfs were bought and sold like cattle ; You know too many a feudal chief, Seting at nought his vassal's grief, Might make the wife from church just led, Seek his before her husband's tied. At this how now would Hiltons frown; What would they'do? Why knock hint down. Nor need they dread the mao of might, For all would shouting err---•'twas right.
